What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar

<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The friction force that exerts by the floor on the box is 10 N.        

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the box, W = 50 N

The coefficient of static friction is 0.2

A rope is attached to the box and pulled horizontally to the right. We need to find the friction force that exerts by the floor on the box. The direction of frictional force is in left side as we know that the frictional force acts in the opposite direction of motion. The force of friction is given by :

F=\mu N

N is normal reaction, N = W = 50 N

F=0.2\times 50\\\\F=10\ N

So, the friction force that exerts by the floor on the box is 10 N.

hoa [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

An echo underwater and an echo in the air will return at different times. The echo underwater will return more quickly than the echo in the air.

Explanation:

The physics of this is simple.

Water and air are both made up of particles. The particles for water are more closely or densely arranged that those of the air molecules. Hence sound travels faster in water than in air. When measured, the speed actually differs by as much as 5 times with water being the fastest medium.

Think of it like this. Assume you have two stacks of dominoes, one closely packed than the other but exactly the same amount of dominos, you'd notice that the stack that is more tightly arranged will be the first to topple over because it takes less time for the kinetic energy from the first domino to reach the next and on and on like that until the last domino.

Cheers
